I just made one of the hardest moves I’ve ever made as a community owner. The metrics might even go against me with this decision, but one real lesson came from it. I removed 659 members in one sweep. Now we’re at 141. And yeah… it feels a bit like Squid Game 😅 But here’s the truth behind the drama 👇 This wasn’t about punishment. It was about alignment. So I changed the rules of the community that if you must perform very simple tasks (introduce yourself and get to lvl 2) to stay inside the free group. There is also a membership question stating this up front. That's because over time, the community grew—but engagement dropped. People joined then never engaged. There are lurkers for sure and that is okay, but.... My community is related to hybrid calisthenics, and in fitness the smallest actions make the biggest difference as you need to build momentum, and that starts with a simple introduction. I want my community to be the best for people to reach their calisthenics goals. So I asked myself a scary question every Skool owner eventually faces: Is this a numbers game… or a culture game? I chose culture. What I’ve learned (and what might help you): • If you say you are going to do something, do it. I said I would remove those who decided not to be a part of the community. Now everyone that said are thankful and more engaged than ever. I have NO IDEA if the metrics will reward this move... I know honesty and action will. Since the cut: - Conversations are sharper - Energy is higher - The remaining members actually want to be here If you’re afraid to clean house, DON'T DO IT! I have been told that there is no need to remove lurkers, as people come back after days/months. I have NO IDEA if it is even worth it in the long run. But if you tell your members you are going to so something, you better follow through to build trust, and so I did. Curious—have you ever had to make a “Squid Game” decision in your community? 🦑👇

Hey gang! Ed here from Brown Bear Skool where I help gay men sort their shit out 🐻❤️ 🦄 Favourite color: Red! 🌈 Favourite Pokemon: BULBASAUR. He is perfection 🤩 🐛 Current Skool Challenge: Warm up all the boys so they feel safe, held, belonging and IN COMMUNITY. I want to achieve this so I can go from $5 p/m to free for my lowest tier. A lower barrier to entry and exploration should mean more 💰 and 🌈🎉. I was legit inspired by seeing Goose's show (presentation) at Sydney IRL, he talked about smashing fun, people and energy into business. Specifically, he brought up having a {Theme} in Skool and combining that with {My Coaching Business} which creates an {Inside Joke} for community traction, togetherness, belonging, fun and joy! I realised I can add a care bears theme inside my skool - I already own and love the Luv-a-lot Bear hat! Please click like - not only am I desperately horny for your love, I want to get to level three babyyyyy~!!
